Over the past 3 years I've downloaded an enormous amount of country music from blogs like Uncle Gil, Red Neckerson and the rest. Sometimes these mp3s are not cataloged in iTunes, and I usually fill in the holes. But in weeks when I download so much, some slip through the cracks and I leave the songs as they are, waiting to be completed later. In one of those cases I've lost the original blog posting and don't know what this album is. It is a compilation entitled "Onbekend", which is a Dutch word meaming "strange unknown person". That doesn't help me one bit. In the Comments section of the mp3 files, there is written "Wheeling West Virginia, Revisited". I could find no album with this name anywhere on the interet, and am hoping someone will come forward with info. I only have songs titles and would love at least to know the artist's names. It is 33 tracks, unbelievable country covers. I listen to it a lot and it's killing me that I don't know who is singing.

I've created another post with all the info about this disc. I'll keep this one here, just to save the comments section.

I posted a record a while back from a Deadwood SD label called B&S. Scott at Vintage Music Company in Minneapolis has allowed me to transfer a few other discs from that label. There are 4 records, and instead of posting them all individually, I'll put them all in one download and save you the time.

You can read a bit about the label in the enclosed scanned newspaper articles, which were generously provided by the Adams Museum in Deadwood, via a blog listener by the name of Bruce.

Let's keep our records clean folks. Keep 'em in a cool dry place and clean them with cleaning solution.

Bill sounds a bit like Slim Whitman on Isle Of Golden Dreams. One of my very first postings was this record which remains one of my very favorite 45s. It just sounds so good, both sides equally. Bill's friend Glenna sent me an email saying that Bill appreciated my posting it. Glad to hear he is still with us, although she made it sound like his health is not as good as it used to be. Glenna also told me Bill's wife made a cd of his records. Wish I could get a copy of it. Bill apparently was moving or cleaning out his house a few years ago and sent boxes of his records to the landfill. My ears hurt when I heard that! Well, Bill you've left your mark on me!

Aw, heck I'll just let you download all 5 of the Bill Laundy tracks that I have: Mediafire

About Me

Transferring forgotten records into digital format. I especially seek music unavailable on cd, and do my best to post music unavailable elsewhere on the internet. If someone else has posted music, you probably won't see it repeated here unless my audio transfer is superior to theirs.
